A Brief Episode...

We (MilamNYC Productions) were involved with shooting a lot of backstage/behind-the-scenes footage for jazz pianist Peter Martin and Peter Martin Music and the first in a series of concerts that Peter will be holding in St. Louis, Missouri, USA with many of the great performers that he's worked with over the years.

This is a brilliant performance from his debut show featuring Dianne Reeves, with whom he's collaborated for more than 10 years.  "One For My Baby (And One More For The Road)" was on her Grammy® Award winning soundtrack for the movie "Good Night, and Good Luck".  Dianne performed this at the end of that movie during the ending credits.  We produced this video from the footage we shot.

Just click play...sit back...and enjoy some brilliant music.

This was only one of more than hour's worth of great music on February 5, 2010 at The Sheldon Concert Hall in St. Louis.  Make sure you check out more of Peter's work, tours, and other interests at Peter Martin Music at petermatinmusic.com.  His next concert in his series will be with trumpeter/vocalist Jeremy Davenport on April 2, 2010.  They went to the same high school (along with The Global Loop).  This show should be a barn burner for sure!

That's how my folks from U. City do it! Peter is the BEST pianist around…and Dianne Reeves ain't so bad either! Can't wait until the April show.

I wish I could have been there, but your video was next best! Thanks Rod!

[Rick Haynes]

Rod, that was a really excellent rendition of a song dear to my heart that I have not heard for decades. A family friend, Juanita Hall (the original Bloody Mary in "South Pacifric,") introduced me to it way back in the 1950's. By that time, it was already a favorite with cabaret singers both black and white. Congratulations!
